Sing-along from Hell

    The dimly lit, dilapidated stage is surrounded by several rows of small, It's-a-small-world-cute children who are tightly strapped to their seats, their eyelids glued wide open. The children scream in fear and vainly try to wriggle out of their straps as a huge, hairless, albino vampire bat waddles onto the stage. It stares hugrily at the children with its large, pink eyes and grins, showing off its large, sharp, yellowed teeth. The children scream in terror.
    "Heeeeeeyyyy-deeee-hooooo, kids!", it shrieks gleefully. "It's time for a Sing-a-long with Darnedee, your unfriendly mutant vampire bat! Sing a long you little snacks, or I'll EAT YOU!"
    Shrieks of terror and pant wettings from the crowd. The bat takes a bow and begins to sing in a voice that could shatter crystal:
    "Row, row, row your boat down the lava stream,
merrily your burning body's giving off a lovely sheen...
    "Just a spoonful of arsenic makes the cyanide go down!
The cyanide go down, the cyanide go down....
    "Green drops are falling on your head,
it's acid and soon it'll melt your brain and you'll be dead,
acid on your head,
oh, acid is falling on your head it is falling...."
    The bat looks disapprovingly at it's terrified audience.
    "You didn't SING ALONG!"
    The lights go out.
    Pain filled screams fill the darkness, wet tearing sounds, crunches and slurping.
    Then: Silence.
